Gemini 2.5 Flash (Free) vs GPT-4.1 Mini (Free)

Gemini 2.5 Flash is Google’s high-performance workhorse model, specifically designed for advanced reasoning, coding, mathematics, and scientific tasks. Includes built-in "thinking" capabilities and is configurable through a "max tokens for reasoning" parameter for fine-tuned performance.

A mid-sized GPT-4.1 model delivering performance competitive with GPT-4o at substantially lower latency and cost. Retains a 1 million token context window and demonstrates strong coding ability and vision understanding, making it suitable for interactive applications with tight performance constraints.
